"Mater Dolorosa (detail) c. 1516" is a notable work by the German Renaissance artist Hans Baldung Grien, a pupil and close follower of Albrecht Dürer. This piece is a striking example of Baldung Grien's exploration of religious themes and his distinctive style that often incorporated emotional intensity and a vivid sense of character. The term "Mater Dolorosa" is Latin for "Sorrowful Mother," referring to the Virgin Mary in her grief over the suffering and crucifixion of Jesus Christ. This subject is a traditional theme in Christian art, depicting Mary as a figure of compassion and sorrow.

Created around 1516, the work is believed to be a detail from a larger altarpiece or devotional work, focusing closely on the Virgin's face to capture the profound sense of sorrow and loss. Baldung Grien's portrayal is marked by its raw emotional power, with the Virgin's eyes often depicted as downcast or tear-filled, reflecting her mourning and love for her son.

The artist's use of color, light, and shadow in "Mater Dolorosa" serves to heighten the emotional impact of the piece. The fine detailing of Mary's features and the intricate rendering of her garments and veil showcase Baldung Grien's technical skill and his ability to convey texture and depth.

Hans Baldung Grien (c. 1484–1545) was an important figure in the Northern Renaissance, known for his complex and sometimes enigmatic religious works, as well as his interest in themes of witchcraft and the supernatural. His works are characterized by a combination of Gothic elements and the emerging Renaissance sensibility, bridging the late medieval period with the early modern era.

"Mater Dolorosa (detail) c. 1516" is a testament to Baldung Grien's mastery of emotional expression in art and his contribution to the religious iconography of the period. It remains an important work for the study of Northern Renaissance art and the devotional practices of the time. The piece is held in high regard for its artistic merit and as a poignant representation of one of Christianity's most enduring and human subjects.
